Howie J Pentony

Howie James Pentony, 78 of Prospect, PA passed away peacefully on May 6, 2026 with his wife, his best friend, and his dog Joey by his side.

Howie was born in Kingwood, WV to Joseph and Genevieve Pentony on May 29, 1947.

He is survived by the love of his life Janey, his son Andrew, daughter-in-law Tara, and the cutest grandson in the whole world, Luke. Also surviving is one brother, Jerry and his family. He was preceded in death by both of his parents.

The night Howie met Janey Snebold Pentony, he told her he was going to marry her, and he did just that on May 12, 1990. Whatever successes he enjoyed in life he attributed to the support and council of Janey. Janey allowed him to live his life as he wanted, especially when it came to the second love of his life, hunting. He bagged a Boone and Crockett Caribou in Alaska and spent much of his life in Canada and the western US chasing and harvesting elk, mule deer, pronghorns, and whitetail. He prepared and consumed everything he bagged, and lived to hunt whitetails, estimating that he harvested over 100. Much of Howie’s hunting time was spent in his home state of West Virginia where his friends Dave and Dawn Milne of Bruceton Mills shared their home and farm with him for over 20 years.

Howie was a Registered Representative in the Securities business for 50 years. He owned Pentony Capital Management in Portersville where he managed “OPMs” as he called it, “other people’s money.” He was an active member of the Portersville-Prospect Rotary, and a proud supporter of law enforcement, the military, and his community. He loved breakfast at Brown’s Country Kitchen and lunch at Ben Franklin’s, but Cala Lily’s in Gibsonia was his favorite dinner spot.

Howie was most proud of the fact that his clients trusted him with their life savings. They continually told him that, and he loved hearing it. He often said it is not difficult to become financially secure. “Work hard, save your money, and invest” was his solution.

Howie will not only be remembered by the lives he touched both personally and professionally, but also by his infectious laughter and unique sarcasm. He leaves behind a lasting legacy in the hearts of all who knew him and will be deeply missed by many for years to come.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 from 4pm to 7pm at The Presbyterian Church of Portersville, 1297 Perry Hwy, Portersville.  The memorial service will follow at 7pm, in the church, with Rev Dana Opp officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Portersville Food Pantry in Howie’s honor at PO Box 102, Portersville, PA 16051.
